At the end of the day, Tactical Arbitrage does one thing: it helps Amazon sellers make more money!

In this article I want to share with you how it does that and why I think it is a must have for any Amazon seller.

TACTICAL ARBITRAGE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS 🙁

Tactical Arbitrage periodically closes to new members in order to focus on developing new features and adding additional sites to prevent saturation. This close started on August 13th and will remain in affect indefinitely. Past closures have lasted between 4-6 weeks.

Enter your name and email below if you'd like to be the first to hear when Tactical Arbitrage is open to the public again.

Don't let the closure keep you from learning about Tactical Arbitrage though. It will be back!

What Is Tactical Arbitrage?

Tactical Arbitrage is a web based software that allows Amazon sellers to:

Search from a huge number of 3rd party stores (over ﻿﻿﻿500﻿﻿﻿ different supported sites!)

Find products that they can buy at prices low enough to sell on Amazon for a profit from a gigantic (and constantly growing) number of sites.

Is 500 sites still not enough for you? Well you can hire a programer to set up ANY site you want so that it functions with Tactical Arbitrage. You can integrate stores that no one else has!

Analyze product lists for wholesale

Tactical Arbitrage started as a tool for online arbitrage but it has expanded into much more.

It has replaced tools like Price Checker 2 for wholesale analysis.​

Filter data (price, ROI, sales rank etc.)

Find only products that fit your needs and make money! Every necessary criteria for analyzing a purchase is controllable.

Global matching database

This feature helps ensure your products match the listings on Amazon exactly so you don’t make bad purchase decisions and waste time and money.

Global Cache

This feature ensures that your searches run at blazing fast speeds.

Built in SMS and email reminders

Don’t waste time waiting for downloads, the built in SMS feature will send you a text message when your scan is complete!

Supports multiple Amazon platforms

You can run multiple “scripts” at one time. to maximize your output! Currently, you can run 3 types of scripts simultaneously (Amazon Flips, Amazon US and Amazon UK).

Works on mobile devices

Run Tactical Arbitrage on your mobile device and source anywhere you have internet! There are not many tools on the market that currently do this.

Reverse search feature for ASIN upload

You can now upload data from a 3rd party tool like Storefront Stalker PRO. This is a great method for wholesalers to utilize the power of Tactical Arbitrage.

Find Amazon to Amazon flips

While Amazon flips isn't an ideal business model (it is a grey area for Amazon) Tactical Arbitrage has all of the functionality to show you which items could be purchased low on Amazon and then sold back at higher prices for a profit.

The Library Book Flipping Tool

Book sellers rejoice! You can now find arbitrage opportunities across major book retailers to flip on Amazon.

Inside the product ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿search﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ page

The product search page within Tactical Arbitrage is insanely feature rich and powerful. The amount of criteria you can add to your searches is unbelievable, making finding exactly what you want a breeze.

The search filters page can be daunting at first but once you set your filters once, you can save them as your defaults.

I recommend you make adjustments to your parameters as necessary but having a default set of parameters is a great way to speed things up. ​

PRO TIP: Loosen Up Your Parameters!

If you are finding that your scans are coming up with no results, it is likely that you have your parameters set too tight. For instance, if you are accepting only items in the top 1% of sales ranks and with a minimum of 150% ROI, you aren't going to find many items. The ones you might find will be fantastic, but you're going to pull up a lot of empty nets!

Remember, you aren't on the hook to buy anything. I like to set my parameters loose so I can have a look at a lot of options. You may find diamonds in the rough that would have slipped past your scans if you had your parameters too tight. ​

So, what are the common minimally acceptable numbers?

It varies based on a multitude of factors, but a minimum net profit margin of 30%, minimum net profit of $5 and sales rank in the top 1% is a great place to start. ​

Amazon Flips

The Amazon Flips feature is one of the most recent additions to Tactical Arbitrage and has quickly become my favorite feature!

One of the most important aspects of successful Amazon to Amazon flipping is setting price alerts. Use Keepa to set price alerts that notify you when a product reaches a low point that could make you a profit. This is based on low points that the product has sold at in the past.

For example, a product sells currently (and regularly) at $59.99. If you notice on the Keepa graph that the item has been selling periodically at a price that is low enough to make a profit (let’s say $19.99) if sold at the current price ($59.99), you should set a price alert to notify you if this item drops back down to $19.99. If the price drops, you will receive an email, at which time you can buy the item and sell back on Amazon.

Popular Products Extension

This slick add-on allows you to easily check which product variations are selling well by analyzing color and size data from product reviews.

Utilizing this tool can help you in two ways:

You can find out which variations are actually selling (so you won’t be misled by a low sales rank that is actually not selling as quickly as it appears for all variations) and base your buying decisions from 3rd party sites on this data.

You can perform Amazon to Amazon flips on products and know that they will actually sell (products with variations like shoes are great for Amazon flips, but they can be misleading.)

Tactical Arbitrage is similar to other programs in many ways, but also very different in others. The best way to see the difference is by giving Tactical Arbitrage a test run with a free 10 day trial using coupon code ER10

FBA Wizard is a tool that has built itself on the coat tails of Tactical Arbitrage but mostly in the UK. It is so similar that people have asked, “Did Tactical Arbitrage white label itself to FBA Wizard?”

Tactical Arbitrage vs. FBA Wizard is not even worth comparison.

FBA Wizard is essentially Tactical Arbitrage but 2 months behind at all times (since they seem to be emulating every Tactical Arbitrage update) and with no personality.

I am not a fan of FBA Wizard and don’t recommend it as an alternative to OA Xray or Tactical Arbitrage. You’d be wise to find an FBA Wizard discount code or coupon before you purchase unless you can stomach paying the same amount for an inferior product.

Question: Do I still need an Amazon associate account to access Tactical Arbitrage?

Answer: No! As of July 2016, you no longer need an Amazon associate’s account to use Tactical Arbitrage!

You will only need an Amazon seller account and then to integrate with your MWS credentials.
